Very nice words about Octavian Nothing from John Green.

From John Green's blog:

Octavian is that rare work of fiction in which the heat cannot be separated from the light. You don't come across great new novels very often, books that--if they get lucky--could be read generations from now. Octavian is an accomplishment of that magnitude, although while reading the book, I was usually far too involved in it to contemplate its greatness. But now that I'm done, I can say: This is the best contemporary fiction I have read in a long time.

I am so looking forward to reading Part II.  While I wait for the pub date, I think I'll read Part I again.
